    Canelo looks fine. So much for all that.

    He looks fine. But 'all that' was from Mayweather's camp. All the BS, all the catchweight BS, was all Mayweather. Canelo had to work hard to get down to 152, but I think he did it safely. He's a little thin now, but now he can eat and hydrate properly and after 24 hours he should be in great shape. He's also very young and when you are so young you can re-energize quickly.

    I agree with you totally as far as his re-hydration etc. I think he will be fine come fight night. Floyd weighed 150 1/2, he probably won't put on much of anything if anything at all come fight night. Canelo might end up ballooning to around 170.

    I don't blame Mayweather for the baiting the catchweight out of Canelo's team honestly. The guy has age and size on him. The reality of a 23 year old champ going up against a 36 year old is pretty stark tonight more than ever.

    I don't think he does either. I'm disappointed that Floyd doesn't have a stronger turn out in terms of black fans, but at the same time I understand that its Nevada/Arizona/Texas area, an area dominated by Hispanics.

    Floyd's fans are mostly rich white gentlemen who know that Floyd's the best bet in town.
